Case details
Nadari Lingam, 25 years, a resident of Sangareddy, and Sunnapu Raju, 29 years of Sangareddy who were transporting ganja were arrested. Three others namely Sunil, Chandrasekhar, and a DTDC employee are absconding, the police said.
The police further said that the accused Lingam and Sunnapu are transporting ganja which was received from DTDC courier service at the Chandanagar branch.
“On verification, it came to light that an accused person by the name Chandra Shekhar from Odisha with the support of a local DTDC employee transported ganja in six boxes,” said G Sandeep, DCP Madhapur.
“Lingam and Raju were previously involved in several NDPS cases and went to jail.
